Can anyone please do a look up in the Daughters of Utah Pioneers book - Pioneer Pathways, Volume 6 page 247 - for John Partington and tell me is there a photo of him.
Thank you

Is that the John Partington 1835 St Helens Lancashire - 1908 Salt Lake City Utah ?

Yes, that's the one. Married to Elizabeth Birchall.
I'm just gathering some research for my father. John is the son of Thomas Partington born 1795 who was the brother of William, our ancestor. William married Margaret Birchall
I've managed to find stories most members of the family who went to Utah but John.

I did find the grave thanks and I remember years ago seeing a piece of that story on the old IGI site. That's the sort of thing I'm looking for though, thanks for the links.
I tried to find the book but can only find it in America or in a set of 6. I'm sure I remember seeing that there were photos in there along with details of the person, perhaps that's where the story comes from.

If you look at familysearch.org--search--books
type in the name of the book and it should appear, however, most won't have authorization to view the book. The following pops up:

I searched and it did say that I have to be in a history centre to read it, unfortunately Liverpools has now closed down :(
Thanks anyway
